X-VPN

[San Francisco, CA – 6 August 2025] – X-VPN has released a major upgrade for macOS and Windows users, evolving the app into a full-featured Privacy & Security Hub. In addition to core VPN protection, the update introduces enhanced tools for browser safety, ad-blocking, dark web monitoring, and basic system cleanup— all within a refreshed, user-friendly interface.

'We want privacy tools to be effortless and complete,' said Luke Murphy, Content Editor at X-VPN. 'This rollout brings features that help in everyday life — without adding friction or confusion.'

Real-World Protection for Everyday Users

Whether you're a student researching online, a freelancer handling accounts, or just tired of distractions and slowdown — the new X-VPN was designed for your daily digital life.

Safe Browsing: When Clicking Shouldn't Be a Gamble

Use case: You're casually Googling a recipe, and one bad link could lead to a shady website or a suspicious file.

Now X-VPN helps reduce risk with:

  • Tracker Blocker – Blocks known tracking scripts and cookies that monitor your online behaviour.
  • Malicious Site Alerts – Warns you before visiting websites flagged as unsafe.
  • Ad Blocker – Removes pop-ups, banners, and autoplay videos for faster, cleaner browsing.

Note: 'Search Result Labels' and 'Download Protection' features have been removed from this version as they require visual or antivirus-based validation mechanisms that X-VPN may not currently implement.

Available on macOS and Windows (Premium only for Browser Protection & Ad Blocking).

Identity Monitoring: Stay Ahead of Leaks

Use case: You reused your email on multiple sites. Suddenly, your inbox is full of spam, or worse — someone tries to access your bank.

Now you can:

  • Monitor up to 5 email addresses across personal and work accounts.
  • Get alerts if your data appears in known dark web breaches.
  • Respond early to prevent escalation.

These features are part of X-VPN's integrated Dark Web Monitor, now in the app.

Available on macOS and Windows (Premium only).

Device Optimisation: Clean Up Without Guesswork

Use case: Your Mac is running out of space. Your Windows PC takes forever to boot. You don't know what's slowing it down.

Now you've got:

  • Storage Cleanup – Find and remove junk files, logs, and cache safely.
  • Auto Clean – Schedule cleanup tasks to run in the background.
  • Startup Manager – See which apps auto-launch and disable unwanted ones.

MacOS users get scheduled cleanup tools.
Windows users enjoy a visual startup manager and disk summary.

Available for Free and Premium users.
